While we had periods of heavy rain yesterday most of the storms slid around us here on the West Branch. The flow at Hale Eddy is 520 cfs and Home Pool is clear. The West is looking good this morning. The Beaverkill and East Branch are up quite a bit and will take a day or two to settle down. The West had some color during the storms and the streamer fishing picked up for a while. March Browns, Gray Fox, Cahills, Sulphurs, and some Green Drakes have been hatching. The intensity of the hatches has varied by river section and weather but they are there. The caddis have been out in good numbers too.
Today will be 69 degrees with clouds in the morning and some potential storms in the afternoon. Total rainfall should be .1″. Wind will be 10 – 15 mph from the West.
